Executive Insights with Gradual: The Playbook for Building Strategic Value Through Community

Community is no longer just a support channel or marketing tool. It is becoming a strategic asset in the executive playbook.

Join Brian Oblinger , trusted advisor to Airbnb, Greenhouse, Salesforce, and more, for a fast-moving conversation about how executives can turn community into measurable business impact. We will explore cross-functional success stories, practical tactics for influencing strategy across the organization, and where community is headed as a go-to-market lever in 2026 and beyond.

We will also look at the intersection of community and AI, and what leaders need to understand today to stay competitive tomorrow.

This 30-minute session is part of Executive Insights with Gradual, created for leaders who want sharp perspective, actionable takeaways, and a clear view of where community is going next.
